We take 7 mg (a 5mg & a 2mg) a day. It’s definitely “activating”, which honestly I need as I get pretty depressed. 10 mg was too much, though, and made some of us “activated” to the point of not being able to sit or lay down for longer than a few minutes. Of course, we’re on quite a cocktail of psychiatric drugs, so there are interactions between them that other people may not see.
Overall, as the atypical anti-psychotics go, Abilify is probably my favorite, as it has the least side effects for us of any we’ve tried. (And we’ve tried most of ’em.)
